In various embodiments, a differential phase generating hybrid can comprise a first input port in communication with a first active splitter, a second input port in communication with a second active splitter, a first active combiner that can be configured to receive a first signal from the first active splitter and a second signal from the second active splitter. The differential phase generating hybrid can further comprise a second active combiner that can be configured to receive the first signal from the first active splitter and the second signal from the second active splitter. The differential phase generating hybrid can further comprise a first output port to provide a first composite signal from the first active combiner, and a second output port to provide a second composite signal from the second active combiner. The size of the differential phase generating hybrid can be independent of an operating frequency.
